With three years of Indiana Central News under my belt, I know I'm on the right track for continued success with my local news site.

There have been some conflicts along the way; However, things are running smoothly most of the time for ICN.

Feb. 18, 2015 is the date I officially launched this website. I felt it was a good fit for the community from the get-go and have enjoyed going out to gather the news around my hometown more than anything else. The police scene is a large part of my site's content, but I do try to fit lighter news in from time to time.

For those who've followed ICN from the beginning to those who've just tuned in, thanks for your support. Please take a quick look back at the hard-hitting news delivered consistently through the past three years --- and continue to follow ICN for all the stories that are on the way for years to come. I enjoy reporting in Terre Haute very much and have worked hard to deliver quality local news content every day. I can imagine continuing this site into old age!
